Overview

Introduction

Photutils contains functions for:

• performing aperture photometry

• performing PSF-fitting photometry

• detecting and extracting point-like sources (e.g., stars) in astronomical images

• detecting and extracting extended sources using image segmentation in astronomical images

• centroiding sources

• estimating the background and background RMS in astronomical images

• building an effective Point Spread Function (ePSF)

• matching PSF kernels

• estimating morphological parameters of detected sources
